Hi,
I put the error message into a search engine that sounds like a big number.
It gave
www.kunena.org/forum/16-archive-installation/4116-solved-installation-error-component-install-db-function-failed-with-error-number-2006

It said that you should ftp the Mobile Joomla to your website and install from a directory instead of uploading and installing in one go. This is because the host of your website gave a timeout for the process. Mobile Joomla is quite a large amount of data and programs.

Use patch from remository.com/downloads/support-files/joomla-1.5/database-interfaces/

thank u, Bro

can u tell me upload from ftp, step by step , thank u

Hi,
What dryabov has suggested is a way to fix your Joomla core to be able to install not using ftp.

Anyway to answer the question.
You need to find the temporary directory that Joomla uses for installing extensions.
You can sign into the site as admin.
Site > Global Configuration
look at the tab called Server
Server settings
Path to Temp-Folder
and make a note of the full path to the temporary directory. Eg /home/sites/mywebsite.com/public_html/tmp

on your PC/laptop unzip the Mobile-Joomla.0.9.12.tar.gz (www.7-zip.org/ may help)
and name the unzipped folder MobileJoomla0912

Then use ftp to put the unzipped folder into the temporary directory. You will probably see this as public_html/tmp

Then from the Joomla backend (as administrator) go to Extensions > Install/Uninstall
Click on install
Then in the install from directory
at the end of the path add the MobileJoomla0912 folder, for example
/home/sites/mywebsite.com/public_html/tmp/MobileJoomla0912
and click
install

Hope this helps. This assumes that the tmp directory is writeable.

thanks. Bro

Success and Gos Bless you
